IDEOLOGIES AND VALUES• This film is more about the lack of values the families have. Kimberly is a product of a broken home where she lives with her father who smokes, drinks, masturbates and shouts racist abuse which is taken in by Kimberly and does the same.
•Kimberly has no respect for her step mum. Whenever them two see each other, Kimberly always brings up “…and when you were done fuckin my dog…”
•Randa, the muslim girl is wearing a headscarf which means she has strong beliefs for her religion, but when she is introduced to porn, alcohol and Kimberly – her family find out and say “you have bought shame upon this family” which results in her commiting suicide
•At one point in the movie, the central female character tries to dissuade a friend from becoming a doctor. Randa, wants to go into medicine to help poor people. She is told that in America doctors don’t help the poor. If she wants to help people, she should go into acting - after all, films contain “important social messages”.
